I am the Grandson of William Hedley Adams.
I was wondering what happened to Herbert and his Family IF any?
If anybody has a clue or is willing to reconnect the Adams Family with us in Australia please contact me.

In the Photo Gallery there are pictures of this family (under Berry Hill) sent in my Miriam Lehmann

By Googling William Hedley Adams - can get 40 pictures of the Adams including William with family members before going to Australia - but somewhere only two pages by going through photo gallery !

Yes I have all of those photo's

Hi Robert and welcome to the forum.
We'll do our best to help you but first we need you to provide more info to work with.
eg when and where did William Hedley Adams live ?. How does Herbert come in to the situation ?. I've searched several sites including the PRs on this site and cannot find William at all !?
Please give us some more information to work with, thanks.

Ok William Hedley Adams lived in Berry Hill with his Father Tom and Williams Half Brother Herbert, Sisters Grace and Miriam in their earlier years.
In the 1900's William Migrated to Australia This I have proof of.
I have no clue as to what Happened to Herbert! Whether he had Children, got Married etc.
William and His wife Lotitia lived in Queensland Australia and Died in Caboolture North of Brisbane, They are buried in Caboolture Cemetary and Lived the life of Christian with "The Salvation Army".
MY Father Gordon Lloyd Adams was Williams Direct Son, and I would like to know about Herbert for our Family Tree so my Daughters know Who their ancestors are and Where they came From.

Perhaps this is a possibility?

Is this the correct family?

If so, is this Herbert's birth?

Births Jun 1915
Adams Herbert G Webb Pontypridd 11a 1406

----------------------------------------------

There is a possible (!) marriage on FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Marriages Jun 1936
Adams Herbert G Bullimore Monmouth 11a 83
Bullimore Gladys M Adams Monmouth 11a 83

...and from http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/MarriageSearch.aspx Herbert is Herbert Gwynn (nice Welsh name!) They married in the Register Office in the Forest of Dean District.

A daughter?

Births Jun 1938
Adams Joyce M Bullimore F.of Dean 6a 463

They may have lived in the Swindon area (Wiltshire) after the war. There is a birth for an Elizabeth M using same parents surnames in 1947, but could be a different couple.

You would need to invest in copies of the Marriage and Birth Certificates to confirm it is the right Herbert and correct children.

Certs can be ordered online from: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
They cost £9.25 including postage.

Hope this helps.
